PUJYA SWAMIJI - A GREAT TEACHER On entering the children's class-room being conducted at Bal Vihar of Chinmaya Mission, a wonderful scene could be seen. Children aged 10 to 12 years were reciting the sholkas of Bhagwad Geeta in sweet tone with correct pronunciations. If we hear this, closing our eyes, we feel that saints are speaking this in the children's language. There was consciousness amongst these children. They were reciting in rhythm with understanding. It appeared as if these children were speaking the language of Krishna with love. There were children of six years also. Several questions arose while seeing this: These questions are: Who is teaching these children systematically memorizing and reciting these shlokas and by what magic they have been mesmerized? I was happy to know that Swamiji Shree Dheeranandji of Chinmaya Mission at Washington D.C. has taught these good lessons to these children. Swamiji has laid special emphasis on correct pronunciations, which created vibrations spreading energy in the atmosphere. Swami Dheeranandji is conducting such classes for the last several years, and has created a wonderful institution by training thousands of children. After seeing this, we can clearly visualize that these children will bring back the period of Satyug. With profound respectful regards to the great Guru Shree Swami Dheeranandji! -Urmila Dholakia Translation by Prof. H. C. Dholakia
